A controls company for people who run their own house
Touch panels, buttons, scenes, automation, integration: command of a space. Lighting is one of the things the products control, not what the company is.
The mission
Build the solutions that are not practical for large manufacturers to make, and build them with the people who will use them.

- Home Assistant
- ESP32 Platform
- LVGL Graphics

The people
The founder and the mascot
One of them has spent a career in controls. The other one is Wizodd.
Rex Smith
Founder
Rex began his career in Palm Beach as a custom integrator working with AMX and Lutron. He went on to become AMX's marketing representative for Florida, Georgia and South Carolina, and then Business Development Manager for the AMX Amenities Solution, where he guided its development. For the past decade he has served as Chief Technologist for an LED lighting manufacturer.
At home, Rex is a home automation enthusiast and Home Assistant supporter, and he kept running into the same problem: the things a professional system does well were not available to people building their own. Wizodd is his answer to that.
Wizodd
Mascot, sidekick, answerer of questions
Mischievous, quick, and delighted by problems. "Huh. That's odd. I like odd." He never says something is not supported. He says let's see what it takes.
